TikTok Launches Educational Video Series 'You're in Control' for User Safety

TikTok, the popular app for creating and sharing short-form videos, is taking a modern approach to user safety with its new educational video series called 'You're in Control.' This series aims to make safety guidelines and tools more accessible and enjoyable for users.

At TikTok, our mission is to empower users to express their creativity while fostering a positive and welcoming community. We understand that providing the right tools and practices is crucial for a better online experience. However, we also recognize that help centers and in-app settings can be overwhelming. That's why we have created 'You're in Control,' a series of short videos that merge important information with entertainment.

The video series covers various topics, including community guidelines, choosing a private account, enabling comment controls, enabling messaging controls, setting screen time limits, enabling restricted viewing, and supporting the community. Each video presents these topics in a fun and engaging way, ensuring that users feel both educated and entertained.

Creating a positive community on TikTok requires a multifaceted approach, involving policies, settings, technology, moderation, and more. We believe that making user education more accessible is a valuable step towards achieving this goal. Through 'You're in Control,' we hope to inspire users to utilize the tools available to them and explore our privacy and safety resources in the Safety Center.

We believe that users can be their most authentic selves when they feel safe and in control. This video series strikes a balance between educational and entertaining content, empowering users to take ownership of their TikTok experience.

The initial 7 videos of 'You're in Control' will be released in the TikTok app in the US and UK starting today. We will continue to introduce additional tutorials as we strive to support and encourage a positive global TikTok community. Check them out at @tiktoktips!
